Minister

96【Seven years of Jiankang】

There is only one song left on Hanyan Lake, and the finale is Xiao Mingyue from Wanhong Pavilion.

One side of the old Zhanghe is still Naqu Guanglingsan.

As soon as Xiao Mingyue took the stage, the audience stopped laughing and laughing. Under the desolation, the smoky lake in the middle of the night became more and more charming, the full moon was reddish, and the cold wind suddenly blew up.Xiao Mingyue was dressed in coarse cloth, with a thorn hairpin casually pinned on her head, she bowed neither happy nor angry, and sat down on the stage.

Wei Chi upstairs was in a trance for a moment, and couldn't tell whether it was Xiao Mingyue or Ji Kang who was on the stage.I have been in the capital for a few years, stumbled, and the world has changed, but it happens that I can hear this song every year at this moment, or I am young and frivolous, or I am frustrated, or I am at a loss between life and death, or I am now leaning on a tall building.

Just like this Guangling San, with ups and downs and turns.

No more gratifying than Fu Yaoqin's repertoire, the sound of the piano has always been forgettable, difficult to learn, and not pleasant to listen to.There are not too many high-pitched and melodious, but if you really understand it, you know that every beat is not on the strings, but on the heart.Xiao Mingyue, a strange person in Hualiu Lane, is unrestrained and indifferent, with a different temperament. With a stroke of both hands, the impetuous vulgarity accumulated on the lake surface was shaken away.But she is not Ji Kang. Ji Kang is lonely. His stubbornness and aloofness make people hard to get close to. Those who love him love him deeply, and those who hate him deeply.Ji Kang is the sun, so when he played Guangling San on the execution ground, three thousand sentient beings listened to it, and those who love it will love it more, and those who hate it will not be able to look directly at it.Xiao Mingyue is a bright moon, vast in the sky, no one can question her temperament, the more she loves, the more she loves, even the unbearable can get close.

The air-cooled chords sounded untimely in the vortex of debauchery, Tang He turned to Wei Chi: "Why is the finale such a song?"

"It wasn't like this before," Wei Chi raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Mingyue is definitely not the first, but Fu Yaoqin has left one and there are thousands of them, but Xiao Mingyue has only one, and her Guangling is scattered everywhere, even here. Even the meanest places."

Tang He sighed, thinking that there are always some people in this world who don't get together, but Niu Liu can't do anything to them, this is the case of Xiao Mingyue in rough cloth, this is the case of Gaozu, what about Wei Chi?

This tune is like a gust of wind blowing across the lake, within a quarter of an hour, the tune has stopped, and there is no applause from above and above the lake, but Lin Qingqiu stood up with a white fish in his hands, and gently slid it into the water .

The painted boats on the lake began to gradually disperse, the cars and horses parked outside the alley began to loosen, and the people who did not stay overnight were preparing to return home.There are many lay people in this world, but there are more lay people who like to be arty. Even if they don't understand Guangling San, they still discuss this piece lively, telling the story that has been told tens of thousands of times over and over again.

Even they themselves find the tune difficult to understand and the story clichéd.

"Let's go back too." Wei Chi clapped his hands and called for someone to come in and help Xu Lang.

Tang He said awkwardly: "I came here to have a meal, but you, a nerd, took the lead, and stayed quiet all night."

Wei Chi was disdainful: "Didn't General Tang have a very speculative chat with Mr. Duan?"

Tang He patted Wei Chi's shoulder with a smile: "You little man who doesn't understand! It seems that I still want to take you to Niu'er Street... Don't, don't look at me like that, I'm just saying." Pretending to hide But he still poked Wei Chi's arm to tease him: "Don't wait until you marry your wife to have sex."

The little girl who came in to serve couldn't help laughing.

Xu Lang is tall and particular about his personality, and he only needs a girl to help him when he is half asleep and half awake.Wei Chi had nothing to say to this dude, so he could only follow the drunkard's wishes and slowly move downstairs.Finally moved to the entrance of Wanhong Pavilion, but saw an old man with a long beard surrounded by several girls sitting on a bullock cart, the old man dangled a wine glass: "Son..."

Who is this old rascal?It's not warm today, who are you showing your half-naked shoulders... Wei Chi deeply felt that more and more people were sick in the capital.

"Father!!!!" Xu Lang, who was staggering, suddenly let out a loud shout.

"That's Xu Lang's father, Master Xu..." Tang He whispered to Wei Chi.

"Soup soup soup soup..." Father Xu couldn't finish the soup, which made the girls around him laugh.

Tang He took a few steps forward and threw Xu Lang's cloak onto the car, and gave Xu Lang another hand.As soon as Xu Lang stuck to the car, he also hummed like crazy: "Aunt Eighteen, Aunt Sixteen, you are here too... Hahaha."

It turned out that they were all concubines... Wei Chi froze in place, feeling that it would be safer to stay away.

A woman about Wei Chi's age on the bullock cart smiled coquettishly and said, "You immature little bastard, grandpa is your seventeenth aunt! The little bastard is pulling grandpa's clothes, get the hell out of here!" Wrinkled He looked at Tang He for a while and said, "It's too ugly! Get out of the way!" Although Tang He had seen the Xu family's style before, he was almost pissed off.Although Wei Chi was ruthless, he still risked his life to save Tang He: "General Xu, Master Xu, let's go first, hehehe." After finishing speaking, he pulled Tanghe and retreated to the side of the street.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Xu Lang was circling around with some aunt's thin shirt in his hand: "Go back to sleep!"

Father Xu waved the bullwhip smartly, and the car of lunatics finally started to move out slowly, Wei Chi and Tang He breathed a sigh of relief.The bullock cart walked a few steps, and the woman who was drinking wine and calling herself the Seventeenth Aunt glanced sideways at the door of Wanhong Pavilion, and said, "Old beast, look at the little girl on the new body of the little beast, she is very handsome!"

Father Xu glanced back in his busy schedule, and said, "Fart! That's a son."

"Old bastard!" Aunt Seventeen pulled Father Xu by his beard and ordered him to turn around: "Obviously she's a girl! The little bastard is really lucky, when will you bring your aunt to have fun together?"

Xu Lang confusedly pulled away the handkerchief she threw over: "What girl! That's Wei Chi!"

Aunt Seventeen laughed loudly, and suddenly pulled the bellyband in front of her and threw it behind the car: "Wei... Chi'er... when will we have fun together? Little beauty..."

Everyone felt that as the woman's jade arm was raised, the white flowers in front of her eyes were shaking softly.Wei Chi, who should have been screaming in fright, was already frozen in place like everyone else, opening his mouth foolishly and letting the pink and beautifully embroidered objects float, float, to the ground.

Xiao Mingyue had only just landed, and from a distance she saw two scourges of the Xu family making trouble in front of her family's business, so she asked her apprentice Cheng Mulian: "Didn't General Xu lose his temper with Hanxue and say that he would never come again? "

Cheng Mulian covered her mouth and smiled, "Master, why are you so serious with him... Eh? Isn't that Mr. Wei?"

Only then did Xiao Mingyue see Wei Chi standing by the roadside who was about to cry from fright.

Wei Chi regained his composure and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the person behind him laughing, "Master Wei, what do you want to do after listening to Guangling San and watching this?"

When Tang He heard the voice, he also looked back and was startled!Secretly asked Wei Chi: "Why do all the leading gentlemen know you?"

Happened to be heard by Xiao Mingyue, Xiao Mingyue handed the qin in her hand to her apprentice, and said to Tang He: "I don't know, General, Mr. Wei had the best friendship with Mr. Lin before he won the list. He tuned the strings for me three years ago. gone."

Wei Chi saw Tang Hena looking at him with the expression of "have you done it?", and quickly waved his hands.

Xiao Mingyue pretended not to know: "What? Mr. Wei doesn't remember me after he became an adult?"

Wei Chi's heart was pounding, and he quickly turned around and blushed and said no.

Xiao Mingyue saw that the child still hadn't grown up like it was three years ago, so she stopped bullying him: "It's rare to see him, come up and tune the strings for me again!"

Tang He's eyes lit up, and he quickly pushed Wei Chi behind: "Master Wei, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Brother Tang took out his usual style of stepping on piles, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Mr. Xiao." Wei Chi saluted.

Seeing Wei Chi's embarrassment, Cheng Mulian wanted to make fun of him, but after thinking about it, she dared not. She honestly recited the piano and led everyone into the building first.

The land of flowers and willows is hot and disperses quickly. It is already late at night, and most of the overnight stays have gone to rest. There are only a few musicians left by the lake to tidy up the strings.Xiao Mingyue came over and said with a smile: "You and them are not in the same place, why bother to be together if we are awkward to get along?"

Wei Chi wiped off his sweat, and finally heaved a sigh of relief: "Just now..."

Xiao Mingyue took her own handkerchief and gave it to him: "Wipe your sweat, it's cold in spring, go sit up and warm before leaving."

Xiao Mingyue lives in the south building of Wanhong Pavilion, it is very quiet and few people come here.It should be said that there are quite a few young men in Qujiang Pond, but the only one who is really pure is Xiao Mingyue. She doesn't want to spend money on drinks and money, and the money she earns from teaching piano skills is great, let alone Count the Su Bureau?What's more, there is Lin Qingqiu supporting her with one hand?Wei Chi was only 15 years old when he met her, and his love affair was limited to books. At that time, Mr. Xiao was eighteen years old, and he was in the prime of his life. Few men who met her were not fascinated, just this child He looked at her indifferently, with a slightly funny expression on his face.Lin Qingqiu didn't bring him here for the sake of Fengyue, he just asked him to tune his strings. At first glance, he was just a handsome little guy, but he didn't know whether it was talent or something else, the tuning was amazingly accurate.

"Do you remember? Three years ago you rolled up your sleeves and tuned the piano for me seriously," Xiao Mingyue took Wei Chi's hand: "But today, you already have calluses on your hands."

Wei Chi moved Xiao Mingyue's fingertips to caress the thin calluses on his palm: "I almost stayed outside the Great Wall and couldn't come back."

Xiao Mingyue turned back and laughed at him: "Do you know why I only see you twice but treat you as a friend?"

How many children from rich families were turned away by her carrying pearls of gold and silver?How many high-ranking officials, giants and prominent families were ignored by her?How many people would be envious of this seemingly ordinary holding hands.

Wei Chi said angrily, "Are you going to say that I'm not like a man?"

Xiao Mingyue pushed open the door of her room, and sighed: "Because you are the only man I've ever met in my life who looks at women without evil thoughts... It's really rare."

"What about Lin Qingqiu?"

Xiao Mingyue pulled up the curtain and lit the lamp again: "He's different, he didn't have evil thoughts after listening to my music."

Wei Chi scolded disdainfully, put his hands together and yelled outside the door: "Miss Cheng! Give me a heater!"

Xiao Mingyue came over and slapped Wei Chi: "What are you yelling about? Do you think she doesn't hate you enough?"

Wei Chi's voice was really loud, so Cheng Mulian came over with the heater, slammed it into Wei Chi's hand, slammed the door and left.

"Your apprentice's temper is getting worse and worse!" Wei Chi was scalded by the stove.

Xiao Mingyue pulled Wei Chi into the back room: "Don't provoke her, this is the territory of Wanhong Pavilion, if you provoke her, she will bite you!"

Wei Chi just sat down and snorted, "Don't fall into my hands, she's about to enter the Imperial College, and let her pick leaves in the backyard every day."

"Can you feel a little pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade?" Xiao Mingyue put the Qin in front of Wei Chi: "I think this one is a bit inaccurate."

Wei Chi tried the sounds one by one: "Yes."

"Really?" Xiao Mingyue was a little surprised, and tried it again herself: "Why do I always feel wrong when playing?"

Wei Chi smiled and said: "I just found out. When I went to the Imperial Academy that day and saw their piano house, my hands were itchy. I tried it and felt that the tone was harsh and dry, but after careful tuning, there was no problem. It was only later that I realized that there was no one during the Chinese New Year. These qins were hung for a whole winter, so they were too dry, so the sound was slightly thicker. Those qins are not better than yours, so it sounds more obvious. Yours is good, but it has been too long. It’s useless, and it’s the same kind of problem when you hang it up. It’ll be fine in spring.”

Xiao Mingyue listened to Wei Chi's words, and saw that he was still in an unhurried manner: "You haven't changed at all from three years ago."

Wei Chi sighed: "Why hasn't it changed?"

Xiao Mingyue smiled: "That's right, in the past, how could you hang out with these people today? By the way, why does that barbarian general always want to take you to find a girl?"

Wei Chi raised his chin: "We were besieged in Fengyi for more than two months. At that time, there were tens of thousands of people outside the city, and we only had a few thousand. There were no reinforcements, no food, and a group of unruly people in the city. The artillery bombarded us for so many days. , the city walls are brittle. General Tang said that if he comes back alive, he will teach me the benefits of women."

"Got it?" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help laughing.

"I don't want to know!" Wei Chi snorted disdainfully: "Why, you want me to know?"

Xiao Mingyue didn't continue to quarrel with him, she stood up and opened the window suddenly: "How cold is Feng Yi? Is it colder than here?"

The cold spring in the capital should not be underestimated. It's late at night, and the cold air is picking up. Wei Chi leaned forward and closed the window: "Feng Yi's heart is cold."

Xiao Mingyue looked back at him, and suddenly felt that this little boy was no longer a little boy, but a big man who stood upright.

Xiao Mingyue sighed: "If I were a man, I would definitely go to the battlefield, and the country will be established in peace."

"Oh?" Wei Chi thought for a while and said, "I would have admired you a year ago, but now... I can only say that there is no water to bathe in that place for ten days and a half months, and you can't eat well or sleep well. Well, the stench of the dead and the living floats for hundreds of miles, making it hard to keep your eyes open."

"I know," Xiao Mingyue looked at Wei Chi and said, "My home is in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many Japanese bandits... I can be regarded as running out of the dead, but unfortunately my life is not good..."

Wei Chi had never heard of Xiao Mingyue's life experience, but Xiao Mingyue only mentioned it lightly.

"It was good luck. At that time, I was still young. If I was caught, I wouldn't be ruined. At that time, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Mr. Hu, sent troops to rescue us. After a day of naval battle, only us old and young were rescued... …My husband’s family who had never been married detested me. Mrs. Hu’s wife thought I was pitiful, so she recruited me to work as a maid in her family. These skills were learned at that time. I wanted to be safe, but who knew that my benefactor was dismissed and copied by officials Home... Another five years, from Jiangnan to Beijing..."

Wei Chi knew that Mr. Hu, the cunning rabbit died, the good bow was hidden... he had both ability and political integrity but he didn't end well.

Xiao Mingyue was feeling sad, but when she saw Wei Chi's face flushed slightly, she knew that he must have drunk a lot just now, and also thought that he had just come down from the battlefield, and she didn't want to think about some things, so she said this, got up and went to give He fetches tea.After making some hot tea, he saw the kid scribbling on the whitewashed wall with a pen.

"Hey!" Xiao Mingyue hurried over.

Pushed by Xiao Mingyue, Wei Chi fell limply onto the mat: "Oh no... I'm really drunk."

Xiao Mingyue put tea and helped him up: "No one who is really drunk says he is drunk...you" Xiao Mingyue looked at his red eye circles: "You are just confused."

"I want to go home."

"go home."

Xiao Mingyue drank two sips of tea with him, and waited for Wei Chi to recover before sending him downstairs.

"Hey! Master Wei is really different, and now he dares to make trouble." Cheng Mulian said angrily: "It's been a few days, huh!"

Xiao Mingyue only sighed, and Cheng Mulian said angrily: "Master is too kind to him! Master Lin's face is enough, not to mention that Master Lin is no longer with him now!"

"What do you know, Mr. Lin is a person who has never suffered... There are some things that I can't agree with him..."

Pushing the door open, Cheng Mulian yelled, "Who wrote this?"

Only then did Xiao Mingyue see that the bastard just took a pen and scribbled on the wall of his house.

"Leilei Jianzhong stone, Qingqingling on the cypress."

In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler.

Fighting wine and entertaining each other, chatting thickly is not guaranteed

Drive a horse and ride a horse to play Wan and Luo.

Luo Zhonghe Yuyu, the crown and belt are self-confident.

Long Qu Luojia Lane, Wanghou Cidi Pavilion.

The two palaces shake their heels and look at them, and the double towers are more than a hundred feet away.

Extremely feasting and entertaining one's mind, what is the pressure of Qi Qi? '

Cheng Mulian read it once and then again, and had to say: "It's a good poem..."

Xiao Mingyue patted her on the head and sighed: "Tomorrow, I will find a craftsman to wipe this wall."

"Master! It's a good poem!" Cheng Mulian reluctantly gave up.

"What do you know?" Xiao Mingyue glanced at those words again: "He is now an official..."

The author has something to say: I thought about the last poem for a long time, and finally decided to use an ancient poem, lest I lower the level of Tanhua.Slightly modified in terms of temperament, I hope it will be harmless.

The Xu family father and son are really powerful, and they are the highlight.

As for Aunt Seventeen... orz
